Mrs. Pearl Marvin Held to Court in $300.00 Bail
Justice Sumner Olimted, Friday after noon, held in $300.00 bail, to answer to the criminal court, Mrs. Pearl Marvin, wife of Orange Marvin. She is charged with cruelly treating her three year old step-daughter, a very delicate little child. Among other things it is alleged that she made the little one stand close to a fire until its little body was horribly burned. The prosecution was conducted by District Atorney Ensworth and A. S. Heck, the attorney for the Commonwealth Humane Society, while the defendant was represented by Attorney A. N. Crandall. The prosecution was instituted by Mrs. Hattie Beadle, one of the officers of the Humane Society. Several witnesses testified to the horrible burning which the child received and to other unkind acts of the defendant. For the defense, several ladies testified that they had often seen the little child in (the) charge of her step-mother but had never seen any evidence of un-kindness. Dr. Gorman testified to the cruel manner in which the child had been burned. Mrs. Marvin in her own behalf explained that she had the child stand before the fire to dry herself for the purpose of breaking her of the habit of wetting her clothes.
After the hearing it was agreed between the parties that the custody of the child be turned over to its grand-mother Mrs. George Schenck, where it will no doubt be tenderly cared for hereafter. It may he that there will be no further prosecution of Mrs. Marvin, but this phase of the case has not been entirely settled yet, The Humane Society is not desirous of persecuting any one but its aim is to put a stop to cruelty wherever it exists and whoever may be guilty of it, and in this laudible object, it certainly should have the hearty support of the community. Attorney John F, Stone and John M. Clark, the well known merchant became Mrs. Marvin's sureties.
Attorney John F. Stone heard much of the testimony in the case and after consenting to the signing of the defendant's bail bond, he frankly told her that while he did not want to see her go to jail, he had no sympathy with her in this case and that he would lend his influence and his money toward having the child taken away from her. Mrs. Marvin replied that they could have the child if they wanted it; that it would be a relief to get rid of it, but insisted that for her husband's sake she had taken the child and had given it the best and kindest care she could. This case attracted wide spread attention among the neighbors ot those concerned and Justice Olmsted's court room was crowded throughout the hearing. Mrs. Marvin, although she has been married some time, is still less than twenty and some consideration should be given her lack of experience.

Last Saturday morning the farm of Harry B. Lent was the scene of much excitement and enthusiasm when the eleven members of the Allegheny Valley 4H Holsteln Calf Club met to draw their calves which had arrived the night before. The boys had an exciting time picking their choice of the calves while waiting for the time when they should draw their calves by lot.
At about eleven o'clock John F. Stone of the First National Bank of
ARRIVAL OF CALVES AT HARRY B. LENT FARM
Coudersport arrived and each boy signed a note with that bank in payment for his calf. The calves were then numbered and each boy drew a number from a hat. The calf bearing a number corresponding to the one he drew from the hat was his. Pictures were taken and each boy started home with his calf. The members of this club are:
Paul Dunn,
John and James Seymour,
Lewis and Frank Lent,
Everett and Lester Gooch,
John Scott,
Harry Palmatier,
Everett and Harland Saulters.
John F. Stone is sponsoring this club and the First National Bank of Coudersport financed the boys in the purchase of their calves.
Last Tuesday nine fine purebred Holsteln calves were brought in and distributed to the members of the Germania 4H Calf Club, bringing the number of calves in that club up to twenty. The calves were brought in by truck and distributed late Tuesday night. The boys and girls were on hand when the calves arrived, drew their calves by lot and took them home. The members of the Germania Club are
Frank and Raymond Karhan, Fred and Mildred Swan,
Dorothy and Carroll Schaner,
John and Elizabeth Winkelman,
Rita and Leota Gilbert,
Charles and Harold Traub,
Reginald and Virgil Handwerk,
Leon and Theodore Sykora,
Dorothy Gressel, Dale Lechler,
Victor and Eleanor Douglas.
This club is sponsored by John C. Gault, cashier of the First National Bank of Galeton. This bank also financed each of the club members in the purchase of their calves.
All of the calves brought in to the county for 4H Club work are from cows that have produced more than 400 pounds of butterfat and over 10,000 pounds of milk in a year. They are also sired by bulls whose dams have made over 1,000 pounds of butter in a year.
Each one of these calves will make the foundation for a high producing herd. The calves in 4H clubs will be fed, managed and cared for under the direct supervision of the Extension Service of the Pennsylvania State Col lege. County Agent Straw reports that there will be between fifteen and twenty calves brought into the communities of Millport and Shinglehouse during this week and next.
Meetings of all the newly organized calf clubs in the county were held during the week with County Agent Straw and James P. Keim, Assistant Club Leader of State College in attendance. The members of these clubs are now learning what club activities really mean. The 4H Club work raises the stan dard of production of the dairy herds of the county, improves the production ' methods and increases the profits from the dairy business.
